Good job missing the point of my comment then. I wasn't talking about manga fans, I was talking about anime watchers who would like season 1 for action obviously.
And I'm saying it'll likely be the same for a majority of the anime watchers

i got high hopes for this, im hearing it will be the next Attack on Titan
I read both and they have some similarities in the beginning in terms of plot and characters. So yes, it will be the next "AoT" and also in terms of how hyped it will be (big chances it will be one of the most popular anime this decade if adapted properly)
Berserk (Golden Age arc) and Cestvs are also 2 manga that share strong similarities with Vinland saga
i see thats nice to know

And 24 episodes is perfect for the first arc (about 8 volumes of manga) ...

more female characters are introduced as the story progresses. its set at a time where society was primarily male dominated but there are some good female characters dont worry.
Good to hear that. I know it makes sense when it comes to the story and context, I just rather have something unrealistic I enjoy than something realistic that I don't. Will watch it anyway of course since it seems interesting, I just hope it won't be such a sausage fest like HxH xD
There are some prominent female characters that said its more limited in this arc (they are there just mostly side characters that the main cast encounters) we do get some more notable female characters as the story progress that do get added to the main cast but we would need to see another season or two for that to happen.

I don't think he is bashing it just pointing out those in it purely for action might drop it. There is still a lot of action in Vinland but that arc is pretty different. I personally thought it was just as good as prologue due to the character development it helps if your reading it all in one go like I did than if you had to wait for months and months for the arc to progress.

A lot of people like that arc you know. Speak for yourself.

This anime is so hyped up that i feel is gonna get lots of backlash when it finally airs, same thing happened to VEG.
Is it getting really hyped up? I mean among those who have read the manga sure but I haven't seen much about outside of that.

Q: is there any fantasy or supernatural in this anime?
There are some visions the characters get (I don't think any in the arc they are adapting I don't remember) but outside of that is supposed to be loosely based historical fiction with a lot of the characters themselves based on real people (Leif Erikson and King Canute are prominent characters in it for instance). It takes place in the early 11th century during King Sweyn's and Canute's invasion of England. Yukimura was very much about historical accuracy regarding the design and some of the events though obviously the fight scenes are a little over the top.
